Abstract

The syntaxin homologue, Nt-Syr1, plays a role in ABA-related signalling and ion channel control in tobacco and, like other syntaxins, appears to function in vesicle trafficking. We are able to purify 6 major protein functions that interact with the cytosolic domain of Nt-Syr1, based on affinity chromatography. These proteins are likely to complex with Nt- Syr1 in signalling and/or secretion, and their characterisation is therefore of importance to understanding Nt-Syr1 function. Funding is requested to develop the line of investigation: (1) to purify these proteins and clone the corresponding genes; (2) to characterise their interaction(s) with Nt-Syr1, and (3) to explore their function(s).
